The Cincinnati-area Toys for Tots organization distributes thousands of toys to area social service organizations and families throughout the tri-state. To be eligible to receive toys, you must be in a low-income household with children under the age of 13 and/or be affiliated with a church, social service or other community outreach program.
This year, the Marine Corps Reserve will collaborate with the Salvation Army for the toy collection and distribution campaign. These two organizations have over 200 years of history serving needy children. The Salvation Army will handle the individual family registration and distribution process for the Tri-State Toys for Tots. The Marine Corps will still conduct the Toys for Tots Campaign as in previous years and handle all organizational registration. This partnership will allow an expanded service to a greater number of children in the Tri-State.
To receive toys from Toys for Tots, Please contact The Salvation Army at 513-762-5649 or 513-242-9100. The Salvation Army is handling all individual family registrations for the Tri-State Toys for Tots.
